European art is really nice, but that title though... it sounds like an advanced physics study.

@tatsumi @Dee123
The same critics who said movies like Space Jam, The Thing, Fight Club and Starship Troopers were all bad films. Yet studios are desperately trying to emulate the feel and fun audiences had when watching those films and failing miserably.

They were fun movies that rewarded actual fans of the series. Watched it with my young nieces and they loved it. Afterwards, I told them all the little easter eggs I saw from the games which they thought were really cool.

It'd be the coolest if players get to fight Evangelion's angels.

Wait. How is this suppose to be competitive when you can mod everything?

Might as well use a TAS bot.

Nintendo dropping new details and release dates for first party titles makes me think there won't be a Nintendo Direct for an awfully long time.

Kamiya did what Nintendo did with the Zelda timeline, he made it up as he went along.

I actually liked Bayo 3's vague ending. The only real problem is now that Kamiya's gone, I can't imagine anyone else taking his place to continue the series.

I'd be more shocked if Tomodachi Life didn't take the top spot. The 3DS title was a surprise hit in Europe.

It tickled their fancy.
It was a jolly good show.
It was their cup of tea.
It was the cat's pajamas.
It was smashing.
It made them quite amused.

I say give Starfox to Retro Studios, cause Nintendo sure as hell doesn't know what to do with it.

Tomodachi Life Living the Unspeakable Atrocities will make me smile, cry and give me plenty to talk about with my therapist.

Hey there, Paesanos!

It's the Super Mario Bros Super Show!

Not bad for a small indie game.

4/10. The controls were awful.

@jfp the two smiling mannequins Nintendolife goes to when they want a quick, easy, cheap and obvious answer.

@CaleBoi25
Makes the game very unique indeed and will add plenty of replayability. The trailers do not show that feature with the top comment of the indie direct trailer shows just how many are not aware of that.

There are still questions on how much dept it adds to the game, but the idea of a "randomized killer' is very exciting.

You post all that information, but not the game's most unique feature!?

I already mentioned this at the indie direct article, but for those interested and don't know cause the trailer can't show it properly. When you make a new save file, the game randomly chooses one of the npcs to be the serial killer.
The story can change depending on the relationships and romance you make, even potentially and unknowingly romance the murderer.

Pokopia has an easy path to surpass 1 million in Japan alone. What's with the FireRed/LeafGreen numbers? It sold 60 units the previous week?

Still a ways off, but I'm eager to know how well Tomodachi Life will sell at release week. Given the series has always been popular in the country since the DS.

That face paint feature. It's gonna cause chaos the likes of which we haven't seen since the Miitopia Switch release.

Nooo! Must... resist... wait till full release... go in blind...

For me, this game will keep me well-fed for the rest of the year. Unless, Nintendo gives us a real direct.

@Spider-Kev No, that's Chris' story. In Jill's story, Jill plays the piano herself.

@Spider-Kev Don't know what copy you played, but I'm fairly certain it is the case.

Rebecca and Jill only appear together near the end of Chris' story. Just as Chris and Barry only appear together near the end of Jill's story.

Canonically, all four survived. The awkwardness of the story stems from it being the first game and Capcom being unsure of sequels at the time.

@Spider-Kev At first I thought the same as well, and though they still explore the same rooms, areas, and end almost identical. A good portion of the beginning and middle has too many different events and stories.

A good example is Barry only appearing in Jill's story and Rebecca only appearing in Chris'.

@Spider-Kev Jill and Chris.

No reason not to play the Gamecube Remake. Pretty much available on nearly all digital stores and is technically two games in one. Sure it lacks the action of more modern Resident Evil and can have puzzles that can be too complex, but it's a type of horror that is sadly missing these days, now that every horror has to have some degree of action mixed in. Always good to know where it all begins.

One mocha, please. With extra poison-type.

NA. More characters in better poses with extra details in the background for those who've played it.

Back to the Dawn will eat my time this whole week. I'm in a good mood for some excellent writing, characterization and world-building.

@Johnny44 Don't worry. Anti-Matter will tell us how many PS5's have been sold.

And no giant women needed to do so. 😏

No online was the worst one for me. We have to trade Pokemon the same way cavemen did.

Loved the direct, far better than the last one in my opinion.
I did not expect Grave Seasons to come to Switch. To anyone interested, it's similar to Stardew Valley, but the twist is that everytime you create a new save file, the game randomly picks one of the npcs to be a serial killer. The relationships and romances you form can change the story as well, even potentially unknowingly romance the murderer.

Another dark, cozy farming game that is said to come to Switch, but not featured in the direct is called Grimshire. About a farming town full of anthropomophic characters where you can choose to be a carnivore or herbivore. Blight has corrupted the land making it difficult to grow food and hunt meat, causing tensions between the two. Due to the scarcity of food, characters can starve to death, but carnivores (including yourself) could potentially eat the herbivores (including yourself).

Megami Tensei and Dragon Quest V: What are we? Chopped liver?

Yeah, I know. Both games had almost no presence outside Japan for a long time, making Pokemon the defacto monster-catching champion.
Imagine how different monster-catching games would be today if Megami Tensei did get a wide release in the west at that time.

What are some of these random selections? No one forgot Jynx and Munchlax. Stakataka and the Tapus are some of the most over-used in competitive play. Shedinja's Wonder Guard is the envy of all Pokemon and trainers. Dewott as part of the starter evolution line is guaranteed a place in memory.

Charizard the OG for sure. Can't beat that simple yet iconic design.

Place your bets which starter's final evolution will be a bodybuilder.

Finally, free healthcare for the house roaches.

Mr. Toriyama still giving new contributions despite years after his passing. Thank you. 🥲

Virtually know next to nothing about Gen 9, but I'll vote for Koraidon cause it's better than the other one featured on the box art.

Winners:
Gen 1 - Charizard
Gen 2 - Umbreon
Gen 3 - Rayquaza
Gen 4 - Lucario
Gen 5 - Chandelure
Gen 6 - Greninja
Gen 7 - Mimikyu
Gen 8 - Corviknight
Gen 9 - Ceruledge

After this, there should be a final poll for all the winners to determine the ultimate popularity champion.

@Pillowpants I'm 100% certain his experience with all those games are either let's plays or watching all the cutscenes on youtube.

Mario Kart 8: You thought I was finished, didn't ya? Think again!

This is where my Pokemon journey ended. Wasn't keen on the unimpressive graphics and lack of innovation and most devastating to me was my favorite being cut from the Pokedex. Urshifu does look cool though.

Winners:
Gen 1 - Charizard
Gen 2 - Umbreon
Gen 3 - Rayquaza
Gen 4 - Lucario
Gen 5 - Chandelure
Gen 6 - Greninja
Gen 7 - Mimikyu
Gen 8 - Corviknight

Wind Waker was my very first which then led me to Animal Crossing's in-game NES titles.

Spoiler alert!

Leon will survive to be used again in a future game. And it was aliens all along.

@cvrator ...a fun video game. 🤥

@rvcolem1 I'm not talking about games as a whole. I'm talking about these two Square-Enix products. One sold ten million copies and had multiple guest appearances in other games while the other Square-Enix buried and would prefer everyone forget. To showcase the sheer contrast between the two games. Even worse is that Forspoken was made by Square-Enix themselves.

I can't believe sexy intriguing anime android girls sold this much, and Forspoken's grungy dirty sarcastic over-bearing snarky punk girl had entire boxes of unsold copies tossed into landfills.

Your move, Square-Enix.

@Scollurio As much as I want to because of how cheap it is, I'm still unsure. I bought Scott Pilgrim and TMNT Shredder's Revenge years ago, but lost interest after a few levels with little enthusiasm to return. I got excited about Marvel Cosmic Invasion, but ended up not buying it because I might quickly lose interest. Maybe I just "out-grew" the genre?

As much as I love Kommo-o, I have to give my vote to Incineroar.

Sun/Moon had the starter's final evolutions leaked way before release date, and the genuine concern people had online that Litten would become another fire/fighting type upon seeing Incineroar's design was entertaining.

Winners:
Gen 1 - Charizard
Gen 2 - Umbreon
Gen 3 - Rayquaza
Gen 4 - Lucario
Gen 5 - Chandelure
Gen 6 - Greninja
Gen 7 - Mimikyu
